Hurm1t Reacts To Iron Maiden Lord of Light

[@aa7830]

This is my favorite on the album. Breeg is the other one. This one has some Bruce solo material vibe too. The guitar melody and groove from 4:28 is absolutely classic vintage Maiden. The drumming is excellent. As usual, as you also noted, the imagery of the lyrics is top notch. Sometimes I feel that the signature Harris style intros could be left off, but not on this one.

[@badmotorbreath5206]

Good to see you feeling better today and the positive messages helped. You’ve given us so much with your reactions, you’re so authentic and perceptive. It’s great fun and something I look forward to every day.

[@robinsongrilli7227]

The drums in this one is sick! 🤘🏼

[@Haggath]

Yesterdays reaction was something else man. Never seen such an emotional response before. This one is a fucking killer song. I remember thinking the solo was strange when I was younger but I think the contrast between the two of them is unreal. The main riff of this song is devastating! You have a really really solid song to close the album with. Not sure what you will think of it, but it does have a massive reputation. Loving the reactions as always, Hurm! Can’t wait for more.

[@helgaratbone1691]

Another great Nicko track! His drums really shine on this album. Bruce sounds great on this one! It almost sounds like it could be a Dio song! For me this is the first album by these guys since Seventh Son that feels like a complete album. It feels like all the songs belong here! It doesn’t just feel like a collection of random songs like say Dance of Death does. This isn’t quite a concept album but it gets close!

[@ettio]

In the beginning I always considered this song one of the less stronger songs on this album. But nowadays I think it 's one of the best. Nice to see you smile again. My son and me are smiling too, the whole week because we are going to two Maiden concerts next year Ziggo Dome Amsterdam and Antwerp Belgium.

[@moonchildah]

I remember an interview Bruce did for Norwegian radio, when they played Oslo in 2006. When asked which one is his favorite from the album, he said this one. 🤘

[@larramendipablo]

Murray's solo is awesome!

[@madman1366]

This band never ceases to give me the chills…in a good way of course!

[@ANJIN79SAMMA]

Glad your having abetter day dude. Maiden have litterally helped me my entire life. When things get shitty , Maiden pull me back up, always have.

[@egrsok9388]

Glad to see you in good spirits today, Hurm. No elixir quite like a dose of Maiden, especially For the Greater Good of God, a deep, emotional, and absolutely phenomenal song! I can listen to it over and over and over again. Looking forward to hear your evaluation of AMOLAD overall before getting into The Final Frontier.

[@humbertogomez8036]

My favorite from AMOLAD alongside with the reincarnation of Ben breeg

[@egrsok9388]

Concerning the guitar solo: we do have one full minute of solos in this song, Adrian from 5:14-5:52 and Dave from 5:52-6:13 (in the original song), with Adrian's strings bending to the absolute limits and hitting stratospheric pitches!

[@maximilianodelrio]

That's a whammy pedal he's using, not insane bending

[@crazyking1896]

Damn it's good to see you seem more positive now, Maiden can always cheer anybody up I guess. Also, this song definitely grew on me, at first I thought it was okay, but now I freaking love it, especially the drums that sound awesome and those riffs are so catchy yet depressing. 🤟

[@MetalCrusader32]

Bruce singing is just awesome in here

[@troywilkinson160]

Hey Hurm. This is really a hidden gem and this song is top 3. It’s a song that return I return to. The guitar solos were good but if I have one beef against my all time favorite band - they don’t shred enough in songs that by their tone demand it.

[@guilhermegobbo1986]

Yeahhh 🤘🤘🤘🤘 UP the Irons!!!

[@danw4490]

Another killer track from the album!

[@anglianherbsman9916]

Legend mate, this one gives me chills tbh

[@AdhamMGhaly]

Probably one of the best Bruce Vocal Performances ever.

[@jingtroc23]

You never heard The Duellists then

[@matthewvalenti1348]

@smilely Or he said “one of” and not “the” and you’re fucking stupid and can’t read.

[@AdhamMGhaly]

@@jingtroc23 As a Maiden fan for more than 20 years I have heard it many times. But this one is on a whole other level. It spans the whole range of vocal emotions one might expect, from the slow, down pitched, soft ones to the aggressive, high pitched stuff.

[@animoley8012]

Didn’t realise this song was quite so good. Never looked up the lyrics. Big mistake. Really looking forward to you hitting the next couple of Albums. Peace out Herms ✌️

[@AndyTheRoo]

My top 3 off this album is: #1 For the Greater Good of God, #2 The Reincanation of Benjamin Breeg, #3 The Longest Day, Honourable mention.... Lord of Light

[@Perhotep]

Yeah! Keep on upping the irons! Me btw thinks this is the shared second best on the album after For The Greater Good… and so philosophically fitting to come after that, second shared with the closing track…

[@tonitiittanen8424]

A top 5 Maiden song for me. My favorite on the album alongside The Legacy.

[@Caroline-ko9pv]

So nice to see you're feeling better today!! 😁

[@jonathanatkinson5256]

One more song to go, and then we're onto The Final Frontier - try and get hold of the official video for the title track, a pretty cool vid set in space (much better than the cheesy ones you rightly scoffed at a couple of albums ago).

[@humbertogomez8036]

It’s the only album they played entirely live !!! The live version of this one is also terrific

[@richardnewbold6155]

And some people think Heavy Metal fans are bad people!!!! I've only ever met friendly and happy Heavy Metal fans🤘🤘🤘🇬🇧 OBITUARY Cause of Death album, ITS THE BEST DEATH METAL ALBUM ON THE PLANET🤘🤘🤘 SLAYER Show no Mercy album to Seasons in the Abyss album.

[@eduardoperezfarah1309]

Ready for The Final Frontier? Use the official video in the opening 🙌

[@salommy]

Lord of Light and Number of the Beast, both songs about Lucifer, share a very similar outro.

[@moonchildah]

Finally the best song on the album in my opinion. 🤘 In my top3 overall. It is just something about it. So many good memories listening to it.

[@johnsullivan3060]

My favorite song on the album. Everything is on point and a 10, save for it does lack a solo that is worthy of the rest of the song. It doesn't ruin the song by any means but prevents it from being almost perfect. :) I'm nit picking I know. ;)

[@frankj10000]

I like this song much more than the last one.

[@sumonjamal1653]

No surprise - it's one of Adrian Smith's contributions... w/ Harris and Dickinson adding their bits and lyrics. Great song 🤘🤘 Strange how the B-side of the album is actually better than the A-side.

[@AdhamMGhaly]

Totally agree. Breeg, Lord of Light, Legacy, and Greater Good of God are waaaaaay better than the rest. Strangely, the A-side ones are the ones that get all the hype.

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@AdhamMGhaly Usually, A-sides are the best songs on albums, and B-sides are the filler songs... Nirvana's 'Nevermind'... Pearl Jam's 'Ten'... Metallica's 'black' album... Ozzy Osbourne's 'Blizzard of Ozz'... are perfect examples of that.

[@AdhamMGhaly]

@@sumonjamal1653 Yet this is not the case for this album. The B-side deserves way more praise.

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@AdhamMGhaly That's what I said.

[@DM-rc4yu]

Another one that has Bruce Dickinson solo -ish vibe.

[@Rocktraffic]

[@twestist]

Really love your channel and as a life long fan of Maiden there is something you should know. Bruce Dickinson is Gnostic and just about every song he writes has a double meaning and if you were Gnostic you would really see something else in his lyrics then what is presented. Bruce has more of a "I am God" mentality and there is a lot of freedom from this world vibe.

[@MetalCrusader32]

Honestly The lyrics are more like the Bruce Dickinson solo album , you are absolutely on target about the lyrics

[@brucedickinson12]

the fall of Satan.

[@talismanmia2537]

Not high on the list for most Maiden fans, but a top 10 for me, as is the superb closer coming next. I think only Powerslave & Rime are better as the last 2 songs of a Maiden album. And if you stretch the number of closing songs to 4, nothing equals Breeg + FTGGOG + LOL + Legacy.

[@AdhamMGhaly]

I find your comment really interesting. I wouldn't say that this album has the best 2-songs end sequence. I gave it lots of thought and actually found it impossible to pick a favorite among this pair, the Powerslave pair, the Final Frontier pair, or the Senjutsu pair. But yeah I totally agree, if we extend to 4 songs AMOLAD wins all the way.

[@talismanmia2537]

@@AdhamMGhaly Hell on Earth has become my favorite Maiden song, so if Harris had cut a few minutes of repetition out of the 1st half of Parchment, I would probably give Senjutsu the nod. On Final Frontier, if you swapped Talisman with Man Who Would Be King, then that would deserve some consideration as well.

[@AdhamMGhaly]

@@talismanmia2537 I can easily see your appreciation for the Talisman from your nickname :D The Talisman was the first instantly loveable song for me from The Final Frontier, but I grew to love the whole album which is I believe contains ZERO filler songs. The whole thing is just perfect from start to finish. I appreciate Maiden's long tracks. So I don't have any issue either with The Parchment or with The Man who would be King which I believe is a top-notch progressive music journey.

Yes I will be!!

[@badmotorbreath5206]

Nicko’s drumming is incredible, sounds like he’s wielding hammers! Other than that, it’s good but not my favourite song on the album.

[@jingtroc23]

For me this song starts off really good, then gets mediocre from the middle to the end.

[@ahmettahsinertas2652]

nearly no solo in this one but great again. the final song closes an awesome album

[@metalmark1214]

An alright song. I like that Bruce really belts it out. Sorry Bruce but Lucifer got full of himself and wanted God's position in the universe and led a third of the angels astray. A nothing special song for me. Didn't make my playlist.

[@rogeriopenna9014]

You mean Illuvatar and Melkor? Tolkien based his stories on the bible but in the end, it was fiction based on fiction. So it's kind of weird how you wrote it as if it was "exactly that"

[@rogeriopenna9014]

And well, remember that God killed millions according to the Bible. Lucifer killed how many?
